ABCI stands for "Application Blockchain Interface".
ABCI is the interface between Tendermint (a state-machine replication engine)
and your application (the actual state machine). It consists of a set of

messages in return.
All ABCI messages and methods are defined in protocol buffers. This allows Tendermint to run with applications written in many programming languages.
This specification is split as follows:
